We will all pay more due to the inability of our government to agree to less spending AND more revenue.

In some countries, people who support such policies, die for less.

When Demint[ed], Bachmann, Palin, Cantor plus Boner (sic) and the rest of the clowns bend to their applause, I hope they have enough grace to do it in front of a guillotine.

And please - don't confirm your ignorance by laying this on the Democrats.

While they (the Dems) could have (and should have) responded better - the Bush war(s) and tax cuts plus a the greed of Wall Street lenders (who were never asked to pay a fair share on their earnings or their misjudgements) were at the root of this fiscal recklessness.

But, in the end, it was the Tea Party and the failure of more knowledgeable Republicans who just cost us all a ****load of money.

Damn them.
